It is a difficult task to connect our culture to any common ground, we are so different from each other. Crystal has managed to accomplish a venue of speech that has in the past, been left untapped. People who have never shared their stories, women of all cultures, and those hardcore &quot;I am here and I am queer&quot; folks like myself have all sat down at the same table and began chatting. Ruby Payne saiddd, there can be no change in poverty untl the rich are on sitting at the same table as the poor. That is equally true with social change. We all must have a place at the table ( straight, bi, gays,etc). thank you Crystal for setting the table.jagibson1212http://www.blogger.com/profile/04540817651535233106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-67804501008867052722010-03-14T22:53:22.766-04:002010-03-14T22:53:22.766-04:00Empire, Empire and more Empire!

And season 2 will show the private life we&#39;ve so far only heard about. Imagine that! A healthy, well-adjusted queer person who is actually in a relationship, and not just the &quot;gay best friend.&quot;Snapperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03141538240915482048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-42233573765691537232010-03-14T03:03:26.847-04:002010-03-14T03:03:26.847-04:00grobles23 I really miss Otalia Story, Crystal Cha...grobles23 I really miss Otalia Story, Crystal Chappell with Venice team are doing a great job with her web soap www.venicetheseries.com she is giving us the storyline we didn&#39;t see on day time television, thank you Crystal you rock !Xianthoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06214727195985663803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-19553963055015260512010-03-14T01:56:49.102-05:002010-03-14T01:56:49.102-05:00i&#39;ve caught most of the shows you listed.
the...i&#39;ve caught most of the shows you listed.<br /><br />the web is a great place for minorities of all kinds to get their stories out there when the networks really seem focused on trying to please the existing audience as opposed to growing new viewers.<br /><br />the great thing about websoaps is that they are made by people who really have a passion for the genre and they can find ways to reinvent the soap opera while the broadcast shows tend to just recycle storylines, characters, couples, etc...<br /><br />i&#39;ve become a big fan of &quot;empire&quot; and &quot;secrets&quot;.. both of which i read about here on your blog. thank you for keeping soap fans in the loop with these innovative and entertaining websoaps.dougiedoughttp://openid.aol.com/tra537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-88090307794794923762010-03-13T12:24:56.356-05:002010-03-13T12:24:56.356-05:00@Sally, I respectfully disagree, but in any event ...@Sally, I respectfully disagree, but in any event your comment has nothing to do with the above post. This post is about honoring the innovations and changes in gay/lesbian portrayals on the internet. I&#39;d be very interested to know if you&#39;ve seen any of the above shows, and what you think of them.Damon L.

Scott couldn&#39;t act his way out a a paper sack if his life depended on it. I have nothing against a gay sl, but at least give me beliveable actors doing the job. I know Scott is gay in real life, but he is such a bad actor that I didn&#39;t believe him in that role.Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04399260730352407747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-13505786497380027142010-03-13T08:48:51.301-05:002010-03-13T08:48:51.301-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sallyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04399260730352407747noreply@blogger.com
